WHAT HAPPENED? Arsenal battled to a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge, with Xhaka playing a crucial part in their efforts. The Gunners stifled many Chelsea attacks, conceding just one shot on target, and the midfielder gave a sweary assessment of the game at full-time.
WHAT HE SAID: Xhaka was pulled over by BT Sport for his post match interview and when asked about the importance of the win he couldn't contain his emotion. "You see the atmosphere, it is f*cking unbelievable!" he said pointing to the travelling Arsenal fans.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The win moves Arsenal back to the top of the table with just one Premier League game to go until the World Cup break. Mikel Arteta's men have taken 34 points from a possible 39 at the start of the season and are beginning to stake their claim as serious title contenders.
